Effective Wednesday, May 16, 2012, the U.S. Postal Service will no longer allow air shipments of any electronics containing lithium batteries. These includes: cameras, bluetooth devices, tablets, mobile phones, GPS devices, laptops, portable DVD players, MP3 players, electronic shavers, etc. That means hundreds of thousands of others around the world and I will no longer be able to purchase electronic devices containing lithium battery. The other option to receive products by mail are FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
